Construction mode Toggles an element to/from construction mode Dimension Based on the current selection, it offers appropriate dimensional/geometric constraints
Horizontal distance Fixes the horizontal distance between two points or the endpoints of a line Vertical distance Fixes the vertical distance between two points or the endpoints of a line
Distance Fixes the length of a line, the distance between two points, the perpendicular distance from a point to a line, the distance between edges of two circles/arcs or between a circle/arc and a line, or the length of an arc Auto radius/diameter Fixes the radius of arcs and B-spline weight circles, and the diameter of circles
Radius Fixes the radius of circles, arcs and B-spline weight circles Diameter Fixes the diameter of circles and arcs.
Angle Fixes the angle between two edges, the angle of a line with the horizontal axis of the sketch, or the aperture angle of a circular arc Lock Constrains the selected item by setting vertical and horizontal distances relative to the origin, thereby locking the location of that item
Coincident (unified) Creates a coincident constraint between points, fixes points on edges or axes or creates a concentric constraint Horizontal/vertical Constrains lines or pairs of points to be horizontal or vertical, whichever is closest to the current alignment
Horizontal Constrains the selected lines or polyline elements to a true horizontal orientation. More than one object can be selected before applying this constraint Vertical Constrains the selected lines or polyline elements to a true vertical orientation. More than one object can be selected before applying this constraint.
Parallel Constrains lines to be parallel. Perpendicular Constrains two lines to be perpendicular
Tangent or collinear Creates a tangent constraint between two selected entities or a co-linear constraint between two line segments Equal length Constrains two selected entities equal to one another. If used on circles or arcs their radii will be set equal
Symmetric Constrains two points to be symmetrical around a line or axis, or around a third point Block Blocks edges in place with a single constraint. It is mainly intended for B-splines
Fillet Creates a fillet between two non-parallel edges Chamfer Creates a chamfer between two non-parallel edges
Trim Trims an edge at the nearest intersections with other edges Split Splits an edge while transferring most constraints
Extend Extends or shortens a line or an arc to an arbitrary location, or to a target edge or point External geometry Projects edges and/or vertices belonging to objects outside the sketch onto the sketch plane
Projection Projects edges and/or vertices belonging to objects outside the sketch onto the sketch plane. Intersection Intersects faces and/or edges belonging to objects outside the sketch with the sketch plane.
Carbon copy Copies all geometry and constraints from another sketch into the active sketch Select origin Selects the origin of the sketch
Select horizontal axis Selects the horizontal axis of the sketch Select vertical axis Selects the vertical axis of the sketch
Array transform Moves or optionally creates copies of selected elements Polar transform Rotates or optionally creates rotated copies of selected elements
Scale transform Scales or optionally creates scaled copies of selected elements Offset geometry Creates equidistant edges around selected edges
Symmetry Creates mirrored copies of selected elements Remove axes alignment Removes the axes alignment of selected edges by replacing Horizontal and Vertical constraints with Parallel and Perpendicular constraints
